CommVault uses a storage policy for each backup. When configuring a tape pool to work with
CommVault Galaxy, first create a storage policy on CommVault and then use the storage_policy_id
(sp_id) as the label when creating the tape pool on the encryption switch or blade.

Tape pool names are limited in length to 63 characters. They may contain alphanumeric
characters, and in some cases, underscores (_) and dashes (-).
Tape pool numbers are limited to eight hex digits. Valid characters for tape pool numbers are
0-9, A-F, and a-f.
The tape pool label created on the encryption switch or blade must be the be same tape pool
label configured on the tape backup application.
Refer to the tape backup product documentation for detailed instructions for creating tape
pool labels and numbers.
NOTE
It may be helpful to create the tape pool on the application first to determine possible naming
restrictions, then use the label generated by the backup application to create the tape pool on
the encryption switch or blade.
A tape pool must first be created on the encryption switch or blade before you can label the
tape media and assign them to the tape pool. Failure to observe this sequence invalidates
tape pool-level settings and policies, and default LUN-level settings are applied to the tape
media.
